Commission formally acknowledges applicants who did not receive funds this year
Summary
After approving awards, the commission took a single group motion to acknowledge a long list of applicants that will not receive funding this cycle and urged them not to be discouraged.
After completing the award votes, the commission read and acknowledged a large list of applicants that would not receive funding this year. The president asked for and obtained a single group motion to register the acknowledgment for those organizations; the motion was seconded and carried.
Speaking to organizations that were not awarded funds, the commission president said, "If your name was on the list that did not receive, it doesn't mean that we don't believe in your work or your mission," and encouraged applicants to continue their efforts. The president reiterated the limited size of the yearly fund and the commission's effort to maximize the number of organizations served.
